Hey standbagger, I started hunting from the ground 3 years ago with my bow. No luck yet, but I bought a Millinieum tree seat last year and it is super comfortable!!! Yes, they are expensive. But I also have a cheapo three legged seat and I'm only good for about 2 hours and my knees start killing me. Going to upgrade soon.

So therefore, good luck to you! I believe you will "get it done!" I have to watch my weight for my gear because I'm hiking in public land. I can't wait to shoot one on the ground with my bow.

Again, good luck to you!
